Discussion
The passage of a “back door” cool front has ushered in noticeably cooler air to the Philly metro region and low-level winds will be consistent today from an east-to-northeast direction. The day should feature lots of clouds and scattered showers…perhaps a late day thunderstorm. The chance of showers and thunderstorms increases for tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night as the “back door” cool front turns around and pushes to the north as a warm front. Any storm that occurs tonight through tomorrow night can be on the strong side. Following the passage of the warm front, it’ll turn much warmer on Saturday, but the intense heat from earlier in the week will not make a return. The weekend closes out with plenty of sunshine on Sunday, warm conditions, and a reduced chance of rain.
